THERE was local success at the Newry Harriers meeting at Taylorstown on Saturday as Co Down-based Mark O’Hare’s yard continues their rich vein of form.

Having only sent out seven runners this season from six individual horses, the victory of Smile Back (7/2 joint-favourite) in the four-year-old mares’ maiden was his third of the campaign, with the northern champion Noel McParlan carrying the colours of O’Hare’s wife, Sara, to success.
